Free, No-obligation Repair Estimate The best car scratch remover for you entirely depends on what kind of scratch you’re dealing with. Scratches can be deep, cutting through the primer and into the metalwork. Some take the colour, while other more shallow scratches affect just the clear lacquer layers.

Each product has its own instructions, which are worth reading carefully before starting. Generally though, you need to wash your car, or at least the area of repair, thoroughly. You also need to ensure you’re applying car treatments in the shade. Whether it’s wax, polish or scratch remover, standing out in the midday sun will inhibit the product’s ability to function properly. Ultimately, using T-Cut will restore shine initially, but the paint will always fade (due to it being a paint restoration compound and not paint) and the best way to give an old car a new lease of colour life would be a new paint job. This can prove expensive. When not to use T Cut Deeper Scratches Polishing your car is a great way to fade small scratches and imperfections. Find out how with our handy guide. Next comes the application. Working in a circular motion, rub the solution over the scratched area, applying firmly to ensure it gets into the grooves of the damage (especially with coloured T Cut). In many cases, the cloth changes colour as the top layer of paint is removed. Don’t worry, that is perfectly normal although it is not the case with metallic finishes as the lacquer on these is clear. There are other cases where applying tcut yourself, or trying to repair the scratches yourself, are not recommended. If you are unfamiliar with repairsThis process can be applied to a small area of a car, such as a wheel arch, or it can be applied to much larger surface areas. If the latter is the case, then tcut will need to be applied all over, one panel at a time, and will requires several containers of tcut to ensure you have enough of the compound. If, for instance, you want to restore an old paint job all over a car, the process is the same as with a smaller area, but it is a more laborious job. Every panel will need to be treated, one panel at a time, to ensure an even application. The maintenance afterwards will also be more intensive, since the car will regularly need to be waxed all over. T-Cut After Care

These products are abrasive. Using a fine grit, they buff out imperfections. Coupled with the lightest touch, they can totally change the appearance of a clear coat layer on your paintwork. Initially the area goes more dull, but don’t panic. Keep plugging away and the smooth shine will soon be restored. Where tcut is not suitable, however, is with deeper scratches where it is far less successful, or even places where the car has been dented as well as scraped. It should only be used to rectify light, shallow, surface scratches where T-Cut can be most effective. Keyed car scratches or deep scrapes from a wall or kerb can often be too deep, going all the way down to the basecoat or primer layers of the car paint, for a simple cutting compound to fix. Where this is the case, a stronger method of scratch removal may be needed, and we’ll talk more about this later. How Does T-Cut Work? data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/haluk-car-cleaning-spot1-step3-process-winter21-1382x867" It’s vital that all excess fluid is removed before finishing the job. If too much is left on, or the incorrect colour has been applied to scratches, it can be extremely difficult to remove. Applying T-Cut is a time-consuming process and requires additional care afterwards. If the application of T-Cut is rushed then it can lead to more expensive repairs later on down the line.
